Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a small overall surplus of £1,112, driven by a £19,245 surplus on unrestricted funds which offset a restricted fund deficit. However, the trustees report that current funding streams do not cover rising structural costs or mandatory retraining, creating uncertainty for service continuity. The charity holds £30,707 in unrestricted reserves against a policy target of one year's total costs.
